Joshua Kohl, of Degenerate Art Ensemble, explains their pullout from the March 7 STG show at the Moore—funding fell through and it’s rescheduled:
Yeah, we are rescheduling the show to the fall. Specifically to HALLOWEEN at which time we will be throwing a massive fantastic Halloween party after our show at the Moore.The Halloween party will follow the show and also take place at the Moore. It will be good times. Some of our expected funding fell through, and we wanted to make sure to do our show on a strong footing (and make sure all artists get paid their due). This gives us more time and a slew of more grants to apply for. We are actually really happy with this change. Feel bad for those who already bought tickets though. Glad they could be refunded, and hope everyone will re-buy them for the fall.

The chief executive of Los Angeles entertainment firm National Lampoon Inc., best known for the comedy and parody films produced under its brand name, was charged Monday with securities fraud in an alleged scheme to artificially boost the company’s stock price.
Daniel S. Laikin, 46, was named in a criminal case filed by the Justice Department in Philadelphia, and was arrested in L.A. on Monday, prosecutors said. He and the company also were named in a civil suit filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Eggamuffin.
(Figure out the National Lampoon reference, win the respect of minutiae fans worldwide).
Hilarious that Christopher Cox and his S.E.C. minions seem to have overlooked the Madoff debacle despite nearly a decade’s worth of warnings, but they had their nose all up in National Lampoon’s nether regions.
Suckballs that the DAE don’t get to do their March Moore show…so much awesome in years past…
…at least we know where the Halloween party next year is going to be…
